Somehow I accidentally deleted Wordpad from the Start menu. I can only access it by typing "Wordpad" into the Run box. How can I get it back onto the Start menu?

Open Windows Explorer (right lick on My Computer and choose Explore). Click the + sign next to the C:\ drive to expand the folder, then click the + sign next to Program Files.

Look for: C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories

Right click on the Wordpad entry and choose "Create Shortcut".

Right click on the new shortcut to Wordpad and choose "Copy".

Right click on the Start button and choose Explore. This will open the Start Programs folder. Click the + sign next to "Start Menu" and right click on Programs. Choose "Paste" and your shortcut to Wordpad will be restored to the the Start Menu.

You could also paste the shortcut on the Desktop for quick program access.
